the lengths of the sides of a rectangular window have the ratio 1.1 to 1.
\n" ); document.write( " The area of the window is 1126.4 square inches. What are the dimensions of the window?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = the multiplier
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "1x = width
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "1.1x = the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The area
\n" ); document.write( "x*1.1x = 1126.4
\n" ); document.write( "1.1x^2 = 1126.4
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 1.1
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 1126.4/1.1
\n" ); document.write( "find the square root
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"sqrt%281024%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = 32 inches is width
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "1.1(32) = 35.2 inches is the length
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check 35.2 * 32 = 1126.4
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
